MONTREAL—Tomás Diez Acosta (second from right), author of October 1962: The “Missile” Crisis As Seen From Cuba, speaks at a September 8 lunch break meeting and book signing at the Pathfinder Booth at the Latin American Studies Association (LASA) Congress in Montreal. Acosta participated in the general mobilization of Cuba’s Revolutionary Armed Forces during the crisis. His book was the best-selling Pathfinder title at the LASA congress.
Participants in the congress bought 32 Pathfinder titles and 14 copies of La Gaceta de Cuba, a magazine of the Union of Artists and Writers of Cuba that is distributed by Pathfinder. Other top sellers at the meeting included We Are Heirs of the World’s Revolution by Thomas Sankara, leader of the 1983-87 revolution in Burkina Faso; Marianas in Combat: Teté Puebla and the Mariana Grajales Women’s Platoon in Cuba’s Revolutionary War; The First and Second Declarations of Havana; Sexism and Science by Evelyn Reed; and several copies of New International, a magazine of Marxist theory and politics. —SAM MANUEL Front page (for this issue) | Home | Text-version home |
